                         COSPAR SESSION E14         
         The Interplay between the Interstellar and Intergalactic Media  
                   from High Redshifts to the Present                    

                       to be held as part of the
                    37th COSPAR Scientific Assembly
                     Montreal, Canada, July 13-20, 2008

This COSPAR event is focused on investigating the interplay between the
interstellar and intergalactic media in and around galaxies from high redshifts
to our Galaxy. The interplay is believed to play an essential role in galaxy
formation and evolution. The event is aimed to review recent progress in the
field and to stimulate new efforts, both observational and theoretical. We plan
to have both solicited and contributed presentations. The scientific 
communities
addressed include observations in all wavelengths from radio to X-ray and
theoretical/computational studies of both interstellar and intergalactic media.
We invite you to visit the event website
http://www.astro.umass.edu/~wqd/projects/cospar_e14_home.html, to participate 
in
the event, and to submit abstracts for contributed talks or posters via the
COSPAR assembly website http://www.cospar-assembly.org/.

Topics:

    * The interplay around nearby galaxies
    * The interplay in group and cluster environments
    * The interplay at high redshifts
    * The interplay in the context of galaxy formation and evolution

Important Deadlines:

    *  Abstract Submission                          17 Feb 2008
